They also helped out in so many ways during the Falklands war, providing information on the Exocet,
I should bloody well think so, they gave the missiles to the Argies in the first place.
This is to show how amnesic the brits are
When the war in the falkland broke out, the french had only delivered 5 exocet to the Argies who sunk 4 Brit vessels not bad for a French bit of kit.
But to be honest I must admit that on the bits of missiles, you could easily read "made in the UK" so Bae, shares the responsability and the profits made on those missiles
Banter appart, my best years in the Armée de l'Air were when I spent three years with the RAF at VALLEY 82/83 and CHIVENOR 83/85 great flying, great fun, and good for the familly too
